The Element of Earth

Kenko was the Shape of Health, and also the Element of Earth.

She understood better than anyone the importance of nature for life in Esperia.

Through her connection with the planet, she could sense the need to protect it—not only for the beauty of the countless life forms that lived upon its surface, but also for the survival of the Espers, the magical beings who had finally reached a state of harmony.

To her, it was clear that caring for one’s health was inseparable from caring for the world in which one lived.

The StarDust of the Espers attuned to the Element of Earth produced far more Aether than the other elements.

Even before Vati and Eklea discovered the flow of Aether, Kenko could already feel that overusing magic was quietly draining the planet of something vital.

In truth, it was drawing upon the source of life itself.

    If there was one thing the Espers were not made for, it was to feel the impermanence of time. Whether it concerned the past or the future, everything that is not the present or close to it quickly becomes abstract, taking shape through stories. These stories are then shaped by their experience, lived or learned,

    For Esperia, this was the discovery of the StarDust, revealed to all at the end of the Chaos War, which had been the trigger for the Espers to finally act in concert. Indeed, for years, despite technological progress and even learning to use magic, which had made many tedious tasks child’s play, the inertia of

    Rebuilding Esperia on foundations that were fair for everyone, while also keeping harmony with nature in mind, was an extremely complicated task.
